Some active officers and retirees say they have not received any of their pension contributions or payments. The officers will file paperwork requesting the court to enforce they get paid.

The filing also includes a clause that says Mayor Mitch Landrieu should not get paid until these officers and retirees are paid the appropriate amount.

The attorney representing those officers says this is a squabble over data processing, and the officers are caught in the middle.

Donovan Liviccari, an attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police, said the city failed to comply with the Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System's requirements and needs to correct the data that was forwarded to Baton Rouge.

Their attorney said this is not about the city's ability to pay, nor is it about the health of the pension fund.

"Apparently there's been a history of those two things not reconciling. This is Baton Rouge's way, I think, of trying to tell the city to get their act together. The problem is, the pensioners are paying the price for it."

Deputy Mayor and the city's Chief Administrative Officer Andy Kopplin said they have done everything on their end to correct any confusion. He added the city one hundred percent wants the former officers to be paid for the years they spent serving the city.

"For them to hold New Orleans police officers who are retiring hostage because they're having a record checking issue with the city is just an outrage and an abuse," Kopplin said.
